Spritzhenry's Outbox

Thanks, Alz. It's still nice for you to see some sun, though! Here's hoping....:-))

I was looking up the Euonymus plant on the question, Sbg! :-))

:-)

Thanks, Sbg! I like that. :-))

So do I! :-))

I'm not surprised! What a gorgeous colour! :-))

I get these in the summer, as annuals here. They're great - love them!

REALLY beautiful!

Love these! I'd have chosen them, as well. :-)

I used to have this plant - it did that as well, and I cut out the dead stems in the spring.

As Bamboo says, they do prefer a sunny position, or only a little shade - but do need shelter from wind as well.

Pinch out the growing points when there are 4 pairs of leaves, as well.

Could it be an Eryngium planum?

My RHS book says to take semi-ripe cuttings in the summer. So it's a bit late for this year.

Probably take them in, if you can - I haven't tried, obviously. Maybe someone else in the North could tell you what they do?

:-)

Nice one. :-)

Hi Lori! Welcome back. :-))

That's OK - it's too dark out there, anyway. I hope you (and me!) get some better weather in the week ahead, though!

I'm still laughing at you two! They had better 'take' now, hadn't they! Maybe I should write labels for them with their new names on? I wonder what Marie would like hers to be called?

That's a real compliment, Stroller. Of course I don't mind!
